Use the form below to upload files. To view or search previously uploaded files go to the list of uploaded files, (re)uploads are also logged in the upload log, deletions in the deletion log.
To include a file in a page, use a link in one of the following forms:
[[File:File.jpg]]to use the full version of the file[[File:File.png|200px|thumb|left|alt text]]to use a 200 pixel wide rendition in a box in the left margin with "alt text" as description[[Media:File.ogg]]for directly linking to the file without displaying the file
Other guidelines
- Before uploading an image, check to see if it already exists to avoid uploading a duplicate file. If the image is intended to replace an older image, only upload a new file if it has a different file type (e.g. the new file is .png but the original is .jpg). Otherwise upload a new version of the original file.
- Remember to include categories in the images you upload. To see the list of available categories, see Special:Categories. If the image is intended to go in your userpage or signiture, put it in Category:User images.
- When uploading a new version of a file, the change may not immediately be visable. If this happens don't assume the upload failed. It takes time for the site/browser to refresh and the change can take a while to become visable. You may also need to perform a hard refresh (by holding Ctrl or ⌘ while pressing the refresh button/key) in order to see the change.
